Instructions for installation for users who do not have debian-based distros

[ADepic]

This isn't really made clear. It does mention that you can build it yourself using make, here are the commands:

git clone https://github.com/vmonaco/kloak.git

cd kloak

make all

However, now it can only be run manually like this:

sudo ./kloak

To run it automatically you will have to add the kloak command as a startup application, and make it run in terminal so that you can enter a command (instead of using run in terminal with sudo you can use pkexec instead however this makes it more difficult to end kloak from running).

If you are using gnome desktop, here are some detailed instructions. It will be diffirent for different desktop environments.

1. Open the application called "Main Menu" (by pressing super key and searching for it).
2. On the left hand side click on "Other".
3. Then click on "New Item" on the right hand side.
4. Call the application "Kloak". Give it whatever icon you want.
5. Open a file manager, and find the "kloak" folder that you cloned from github. If you followed my instructions, it should be in your home directory.
6. In the kloak folder there will be a file called "kloak" with no file extensions
7. Right click and copy.
8. Go back to the "Main Menu" application.
9. In the "Command" box, type sudo, press space, and then paste what you have copied.
10. This should now have a functional command that opens kloak. For example, here is how it could look:

sudo /home/user/kloak/kloak

The user part of the filepath is different based on your username.

11. Check the Launch in Terminal option. Otherwise you won't be able to enter your password and make this program work. Also, if it isn't launched in terminal, it is more difficult to stop kloak once it has started running.
12. Press "OK" once you have correctly entered the command, name and checked the "launch in terminal" box.
13. Make sure you have "Gnome Tweaks" installed. In some distributions it is pre-installed, in others it isn't. You should be able to find it in your software center.
14. Open Gnome Tweaks
15. Go to the Section called "Startup Applications"
16. Click the plus icon
17. Find the "kloak" application that you have just created, and add it to the list of startup applications.
18. Kloak will now run when you startup your device. Make sure to enter your password into the terminal window that pops up, otherwise it won't run.
19. You can also run kloak from the applications menu in gnome.
